I'd actually consider buying this if it was available 10 years ago. but I like the concept though. maybe if it goes down to 10$ then I'd get one :D

E-ink displays are only suitable for e-book readers

Even the littlest innovations create simplicity. Good job (: Don't stop advancing humanity.

this is what I use my phone for:
calling, texting, internet browsing/reading,
calendar, NotePad, checking bus/train arrivals, maps, sport apps to check scores, Skype, alarm, imdb

I don't play games or watch videos, so if this phone gives me battery that lasts a week tell me why should not I consider it?

and I do believe there are more people like me. feel free to thumb me down if it makes you happy.

Looks like it has serious touch screen sensitivity issues.

That would actually be incredibly cool! As much as I love my GS3, it just barely squeezes out a day. A whole week sounds amazing! This could be really great for texting, phone calls, and even web browsing/social networking! But I would miss taking and looking at pictures took much. Not to mention you can get a One V from Virgin for $100 on Amazon! Maybe in the future or as a back up though.

What is that? A toy? Tiny phone, from yesteryear?

i would love to browse the web with a display like that, most of what i do is text anyway so fancy color doesn't really matter

A phone like this is a perfect example of what I said recently....All Android phones dont have bad battery life. Battery life isnt that important to me to get this...lol. I will either get a phone with a huge non removable battery, or get a phone with a removable battery.

I will also check on battery life tests, reviews before getting a phone. Anandtech is almost spot on for battery tests. PA too.....whenever they do battery tests again...lol. For some reason the writers here dont do it as much or anymore...bring it back.

I recall the e-ink Nokia dashboard phone in that Startrek movie.
